Detailed stool testing doesn't just look at the gut flora (microbiome) but allows us to be sure you are digesting food properly (critical for you to be getting the most out of your diet) plus it tests markers of inflammation and immunity.
We use a combination of tests to establish if you are lacking in vitamins, minerals and cofactors. A simple urine test can offer a wealth of information on hundreds of metabolic processes which require these nutrients for energy production, neurotransmitter production and more.
Standard lipid (cholesterol) testing simply does not delve deep enough into the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. We use a comprehensive blood test to look at the latest biomarkers of risk to take away the doubt as to what is contributing to high blood pressure, blood vessel disease and heart function.
Blanket genetic testing is like looking for a needle in a haystack but targeted genomic testing using validated pathway testing can give us invaluable information to help us target specific nutritional needs and enhance protective chemical reactions within the body.
If you've been exposed to pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, farming chemicals or petrochemicals you may have a high toxic load. These chemicals interfere with the normal chemistry of the body and if you lack the ability to detoxify, this can lead to poor function, symptoms and then disease. We can test for all of these toxins and establish how well you are able to remove them from the body.
Gut problems, nutritional deficiencies and toxins can all take their toll on the way the body produces and responds to hormones. We do non-invasive urine and blood panels of hormones to get a complete picture of how your body's chemical communication system is working.
The first three tests are our platform tests, the ones below this may be suggested as an addition to these first three.
State of the art stool microbiology, parasitology using MALDI-TOF technology giving the most accurate picture of your microbiome plus digestive capacity and inflammatory biomarkers. Can be done at home.
H.pylori antigen, Beta-glucoronidase.
The metabolic products of energy pathways, methylation, detoxification and gut metabolism give an assessment of nutritional adequacy and mitochondrial function. Can be done at home.
Vitamin D is a master-regulator of the immune system. Without adequate levels, disordered inflammation and immune dysfunction are unrestrained. Can be done at home.
Standard tests only include T4 and TSH. This looks at free and total T4 & T3, RT3, TSH, thyroid antibodies giving a complete evaluation. Requires a blood draw.
Many advanced tests are available, these are some of the most frequently used:
Just about every risk factor is covered by this wonderful new panel by Doctors Data. It not only includes a detailed breakdown of your cholesterol profile including particle size and number but also oxidised LDL, CRP, homocysteine and insulin!! Extremely good value.
Are you wondering if you have Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth? If you have bloating and pain, this may well be the case.
Up to 3 additional panels (Oestrogen, Diet, Pain, Mind, Skin and Sport) $110 each. Beyond 4 panels - additional fees - please enquire.
The latest in metabolomic urine testing - adrenal and sex hormone metabolites.
The latest in metabolomic urine testing - adrenal and sex hormone metabolites plus cortisol profile, melatonin and other indicators.
An accurate picture of a woman's cycle in addition to the DUTCH complete analysis. The most comprehensive hormonal analysis for women including DUTCH Plus is $927.
Minerals and toxic metals.
When added to organic acid analysis. If you have been exposed to chemicals through agriculture, horticulture, industry or domestically, this could be a second tier test we recommend to establish any toxicity contributing to your symptoms.
Are you living in a damp building? Mould in the bathroom? Cyclone damage? You may be exposed to the highly toxic chemicals produced by mould. Any organ can be involved. We can exclude this as a root cause.
A urine test which accurately measures iodine status.
We can process samples as well as take your blood! This means that any functional test is now possible without having to access another lab.
We charge $35 for a simple blood draw or $75 if further processing is necessary.
We also do Live Blood Analysis - to book this please use the button below.
Probably one of our more demanding tests - here's a detailed overview of how to prepare and do this test.
Everyone should get excited about this test! Here's why we do it and how to prepare and do this simple urine test.
Please reach us at info@functionalagain.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
No, you don't, but please write "Functional Again" on the sticker
that says: "*MUST BE COMPLETED**
Please do the tests as close as possible to the following Monday. Have it ready to be
couriered on the Monday morning.
Tick only the top box (OAT) please, unless it has been discussed with your
Practitioner. The other options will add extra costs to the test that might not be
required.
Please do the 3 day test unless your practitioner has given you different
instructions. The see through bags are marked Day 1, Day 2 and two Day 3 bags. On
day 3 please fill the 3 vials in the two bags. Please fill all the (5) vials to the line
marked on the vials. Only the vial with the white lid in one of the Day 3 bags and
the white little Ice-Brix go in the freezer. The rest of the vials go in the fridge.
If you are only doing 2 days the first day can be either Day 1 or Day 2, but you have
to include the two Day 3 bags.
Everything goes back into the box and then into the Courier bag to be couriered.
These are the 3 standard tests we normally recommend:
CSA+P (Stool) $631
OAT (Urine) $370
Vit D$95
If other testing is required we'll inform you of the pricing.
